Friday was a very fun day. Robbin took me to Chicago on a train, which took 1 1/2 hours because it made several stops. It was so much fun. When we arrived about 1:00, we got off in the station that had several stores and a food court. We did stop to eat then went to buy a couple of umbrellas so we could start the walk in downtown Chicago. The rain had started earlier in the day and didn't quit until around 10 that night. When it rains in Chicago, it rains! Have you ever been in a big city when it is raining? Everyones walking down the street carrying an umbrella and it is an awesome sight. The rain doesn't stop anyone from doing what they need. And I think this is the most friendly city I have been in. Every store we were in, every restaurant we ate in and the people walking down the street, seemed to be happy and are loving life. I have been noticing this since our trip. These kinds of things are not just things anymore. My love for life and being around people has grown and sure means more to both Robbin and I. Sad but this trip was a reality check. I always knew I had cancer, I just didn't feel like I did so I wouldn't take proper care of myself. One thing I know now is that listening to my body is most important. Healing bones is difficult. My life has changed because of this so I won't be doing some of the same activities that I love doing. Just wait to see what I find. I have to replace those things....Don't know yet what it will be.
All of the thoughts and prayers have helped me through this and will continue to get me through this. Robbin has been my rock. He has supported me more than I could ever imagine. I love you, baby and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I plan on blogging again when I get more news or just want to keep you updated. I love all of you and praise God for the relationship I have with you.
Glad to see the post, I missed it over the weekend! And, glad to see that you had a pleasant experience in that big city-even in the rain! I love being in the rain like that, except when I had to be working. It was a pain in the neck then carrying my briefcase, important papers and documents. And, I had to walk a mile to and from home, then from the train/tube station to the office, etc., ugh. God's Grace shines through all of us in so many ways. I'm glad that it is shining through you with the advent of new activities, enjoy!
